NEW MUSICIANS UNION
TO BE FORMED IN CHICAGO
Chicago April 12The sweet bells
of unionized music are jangled harsh
nnd out of tune It was stated here
today In connection with the an
nouncement of pending formation of a
new national organization of musi
cians in opposition to the American
Federation of Musicians
R W Starr general recording sec
retary of tho American Musicians
union says that a delegate convention
of 300 representing twenty thousand
musicians of the American Musicians
union the International Music and
Theatrical union the Knights of La
bor Musicians and half a dozen oth
er bodies will meet at New York
April 29 to form a new organization
to include the United States and Can
ada
According to Mr Starr tho revolt
against tho American Federation of
Musicians which is the musical end
of the Amorlcan Federation of Labor
is due to what ho alleges is the arbi
trary conduct of union affairs by the
national organization
A rigid system of fines and regula
tions which makes it extremely haz
ardous for the orchestra or brass band i
of one city to play in another are
among the grievances which are
charged against the federation and
which the organization Is designed to
correct
I
Probably we arc not a labor or
ganization said Mr Starr We fur j
nish a luxury Tho Slffcroncc between j
a good mechanic and a poor one Is not
great but Lho difference between a
good musician and a poor one Is as
great as the poles onus a maxi i
mum and minimum wage scale Is Im
possible It has brought nothing but

Imposed on the sultans ministry of Its

licly repudiated any Intention to over
throw the sultan or to Install a mili
tary dictatorship but the crisis and
Its outcome was then regarded as not
promising well for tho stability of tho

question how the moderate elements
of tho empire would regard this as
sumption of absolute power by an It1
responsible committee

ed him of being too considerate of
